KNIPEXAutomatic Wire Stripper 10-24 AWG, 7.25

**Knipex Automatic Wire Strippers, 10-24 Gauge Review****Discovery and First Impressions:**I first heard about the Knipex Automatic Wire Strippers on Adam Savage's YouTube channel, Tested. I usually trust his recommendations, so I decided to give these a try. I have some experience with wire stripping, and I plan on doing a lot more, which is why I got them.**Performance:**These wire strippers are amazing when it comes to performance. They strip the ends of wires perfectly, which makes the process really satisfying. I've even found myself stripping spare wires just for fun. You can adjust how much wire you want to strip and how strong the tension is. Even with small wires, I've never had any issues with snapping them. The tool seems to adjust its tension really well, whether you set it high or low. There's also a cutter on top, though it's in a bit of an awkward spot, but it works fine.**Ergonomics:**The ergonomics of this tool are fantastic. It fits well in your hand with a full-handed pistol grip lever action that's comfortable to use. If you have a lot of wires to strip, this tool makes the job much more enjoyable.**Build and Material:**Now, this isn't a cheap tool. It's for people who plan to do a lot of wire stripping and want to save time. While it's a bit pricey for regular folks, it's worth it if you need to strip a lot of wires. However, it is a bit disappointing that the entire tool is made of plastic. Even though it's durable, I expected a bit more for the price. But knowing Knipex, their products are usually high quality and last a long time, so it's only a minor "annoyance" and I didn't dock any stars for it.**Overall Thoughts:**These wire strippers are a joy to use, which is surprising to say about such a tool like this. They're high-performing, likely to last, but come with a higher price tag. If you need to strip a lot of wires, these are worth considering. But if you're not sure if you need them, you probably don't.

I recently purchased the KNIPEX Automatic Wire Stripper 10-24 AWG, and I’m extremely impressed with its performance. This tool is an absolute game-changer for anyone who works with wires regularly. The automatic adjustment feature is fantastic—no need to keep adjusting the tool as you switch between different wire gauges. It strips wires cleanly and efficiently every time, whether I'm working with small 24 AWG wires or thicker 10 AWG wires.The ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use for extended periods, and the grip feels sturdy but not overly bulky. The handles are easy to squeeze, and the built-in spring mechanism ensures smooth operation without putting too much strain on your hand. The stripping process is quick and precise, leaving the wire ends perfectly exposed without any nicks or damage to the wire.I’ve used other wire strippers in the past, but none have matched the precision and ease of use that the KNIPEX Automatic Wire Stripper offers. The build quality is excellent, and it feels durable enough to withstand regular use in both professional and DIY settings.Overall, this wire stripper is highly recommended for anyone who needs a reliable and efficient tool for wire stripping. It's worth every penny, especially considering how much time and effort it saves compared to manual models. Definitely a must-have in your toolbox!

Not cheap but works exceptionally well. Accurately strips insulation from a wide range of wire gages without damaging the wire. Tested it on a variety of wire gages within range of tool and perfect EVERY time. Adjusting for different gages and strip lengths simple and quick. Easy to operate one-handed in a tight area is a bonus not appreciated until you need to do that.Another nice feature is the stripping "blades" are replaceable if you should ever need to vs tossing it and buying another stripper.The only consideration may be the tool is not metal ... feels/looks like a tough glass filled nylon or similar. Plenty durable for most environments ... but, if you're working somewhere like an oil drilling platform or underground mine etc where your tools will take a physical beating day in day out, this may not be the greatest choice for longevity. But other than you too will wish you'd bought one a LONG time ago!
